This is a placeholder topic for “JST PH-Style Cable with Female Pins for 0.1” Housings, 4-Pin, 12cm" comments.
This 4-conductor, 12 cm (4.5") cable has 24 AWG wires and a 4-pin female JST PH-type connector (2mm pitch) on one end. The other ends of the wires are…
Read moreThe connector is referred to several times as “JST PH-style connector”.
Is this the A205 series connector which is used by Seeed Studio for their Grove cables, or something else similar ?
Donald’s query is pretty valid I think.
The description PH-“Style” is not very definite. It is either a PH connector or it is not.
Core contradicts itself a bit. In the general text you refer to this as a PH-Style while in the general specifications it is listed as a PH Connector.
Which is it ???

Hey there, @Donald23173 @Robert93820, “JST”,
There is a company called Japanese Solderless Terminal, who make, well, solderless terminal connectors to the JST standard: SH, PH, XH, etc. But those standards are really handy, so they’re often copied. A lot, so often that JST standard has kind of escaped the orbit of the company and just become shorthand for a standard.
In this PH* identifies the 2 mm-pitch family. “PH-style” means the connector follows that format, but doesn’t guarantee the component itself was manufactured by JST. For this cable, the connector is a 4-pin, 2 mm PH-compatible housing BUT it won’t mate with the A205-style connector used by Grove, which uses a different proprietary housing.
We have a fuller explanation on JST connectors with the JST connector primer.
